ARCHAEOLOGY
puting es increasingly essential to the work of the archaeologist,
archeologists require a clear understanding of the impact of information technology
upon their discipline.
This non-technical introductory volume discusses and explains the influence of
computers on all aspects of archaeological research and interpretation, from survey,
excavation and landscape to museums, education municating the past. The
author meets the need of the archaeologist to keep abreast of puters can assist
at all stages of archaeological research and data analysis.
Theoretical information, focusing on Geographical Information Systems, for example,
is presented through description of archaeological processes, and is consistently
practical and free from jargon. The author acknowledges the problem of obsolescence in
computing and presents archaeological technology as an on-going, constantly changing
process rather than as a final, achievable state. The book will thus remain relevant
through future advances in technology and informative about the general principles of,
and the issues arising from, the relationship puters and archaeology.
Highly illustrated and referenced throughout with case-studies and examples, Using
Computers in Archaeology: Towards Virtual Pasts is a timely survey of this increasingly
important area of archaeology, catering for both the student and the experienced
archaeologist.
